Becky Lynch Told Charlotte Flair “You Can Talk Your Sh*t, But I’m Better Than You”
While Becky Lynch may have defeated Charlotte Flair at Survivor Series, her comments following the match showed that the animosity between the two is going nowhere.
Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch overcame her SmackDown counterpart, Charlotte Flair, by taking a leaf out of ‘The Queen’s book and using the ropes for leverage to get the pin.
Lynch was seen to be emotional after her victory, but during a post-match interview with Ariel Helwani of BT Sport she was confident she had proved she was the better person.
“Before we went out, I got very emotional just because of the journey we went through that we were the best of friends and we’ve been through everything together and when I went out there, I just wanted to rip her head off. I wanted to hurt her as much as I possibly could. That’s a lot of emotion because I wanted to maim her and hurt her. That’s somebody I used to be so close to.”
“I told you how this has gone so sour and I don’t think it really hit me until tonight how sad that all is. We went out there and killed each other and hit each other as hard as we could and we wanted to hurt each other. I told her I’m the better person and she can’t accept it so she’s going to cry to her dad and cry to everybody else, but there’s no denying it now. It started in Brooklyn and it ended in Brooklyn.”
‘Big Time Becks’ was referring to SummerSlam 2018, which took place in Brooklyn was where she began a heel turn by attacking Charlotte Flair. However, the fans remained firmly in Becky Lynch’s corner, leading to the emergence of ‘The Man’.
“Unless she wants to try again, but I don’t know how many times I need to prove I’m the better woman. She’s strong, so strong, and hits so hard, but I couldn’t quit. When I was in the armbar, I said, ‘You better break it because I’m not tapping.’ It was very hard. There might not be anybody that hits as hard as Charlotte. To overcome everything. It didn’t matter how I beat her, I’m just glad I beat her.”
“I would have liked to tap her out or pin her or knock her out, but a win is a win. I’m a little disappointed that I didn’t make her tap, knock her head against the canvas, knock her out, that I didn’t get the three count. I’m a little disappointed about that. I got the three count, but not the way I wanted.”
Lynch went on to talk about the atmosphere surrounding her and Charlotte’s ongoing feud and mentioned comments Ric Flair had made about her.
“When you’re going in with this much animosity, it’s so much stress because you have so much hatred and carrying around that hatred is hard for anybody. Knowing there is people out there that hate you as much as I hate her. It’s a lot of hatred and animosity.”
“Carrying that around for a full week. Her dad is coming at me. The whole thing was very stressful and I’m trying to do all these appearances and get these workouts in, but I was very distracted all week.”
Lynch finished by revealing the words she said to Charlotte Flair after the match, which confirmed that the issues between the pair are not over yet.
“I said ‘go cry about it. You can talk your sh*t, but I’m better than you.’ I said a lot of stuff.”
